A Day in the Life

at North Woods Village of Kalamazoo

Moving your loved one into Memory Care can be stressful when you don’t know what to expect of the day to day. Our Village is here to help you understand what a typical day looks like in our communities.

Cognitive and creative activities are vital to improving the quality of life of residents living with Alzheimer’s. Consistent socialization and cognitive engagement help to reduce agitation, increase memory skills, and improve our resident’s abilities to communicate.

Our Village is committed to guiding, caring, and inspiring your loved one.
